The Idea
Shampoo ads are always glossy, slow-motion, overdramatic and whispery. So we did exactly that – on purpose.
The mock campaign exaggerated every cliché: fresh hops flying, dramatic lighting, tropical mood, whispered selling points – but made it clearly self-aware and humorous.
The result was instantly understandable as parody – and highly shareable.
Strategic Impact
Beyond the humor, the campaign reinforced Brussels Beer Project’s positioning:
- Local collaboration with a historic Brussels savonnerie
- Upcycling brewing waste (spent yeast and hops)
- Sustainable product innovation
- “Leave the Abbey, Join the Playground” in action
The comedic tone generated strong organic traction – over 40k reach on Instagram – while paid ads supported direct traffic to the e-shop and retail partners.
